Hosts were thoughtful, we had everything we needed and the dogs loved the underfloor heating! A lovely break.

The Bobbin is a beautiful Barn Conversion, with everything you could possibly need. It was immaculately clean, comfortable and cosy.There was a lovely welcome pack, which we thoroughly enjoyed (most self catering premises do not do this). It was on a busy road which might put some people off but it didn't bother us as most of the time we were out and about and it quietened down at night.We would definitely recommend this property.

The Bobbin is a lovely, well-equipped cosy cottage with a patio overlooking a pleasant garden. Across the way, cows are pastured. It's a perfect view! Ample parking is provided. Only 3 miles from Matlock and close to a wonderful farm shop which serves lovely breakfasts. Would recommend!
